Proof that Dishonored was pulled from PlayStation Plus in March at the last minute?

Dishonored pulled from PS Plus in March at the last minute reveals official PlayStation Blog URL.

I already have it, but that would have been an awesome game for PS+ for people. One of my fav new IPs from last generation easily

hope we see Dishonored 2 at E3

Mr Pumblechook3391d ago

I'm not sure if it is related but Dishonored has previously been given away with Xbox Live - as I downloaded it last year on my 360. This indicates that Bethesda understood the benefits of giving away a game on console in this way.

This delay at the last minute indicates a legal or licensing issue.

Today Sony finally announces their March games for PlayStation Plus - four new games for PS4 owners. One of them the brand new Olli Olli 2.

Major Nelson makes a post proclaiming the benefits of Games with Gold so that 360 owners can register the one XBO game given away a month in case they buy an Xbox One.

These are all disparate facts, but Bethesda certainly gave the go-ahead to Sony to include Dishonored in PlayStation Plus so this does make me SPECULATE as to why it had to be pulled. Bethesda will be having their own event at E3 this year and I suspect Dishonored will be revealed - this could mean Microsoft have nabbed the time exclusive DLC. Time will tell.

Awesome comment as a ps gamer its sad to say but i feel microsoft and bethesda have alot of stuff in the works maybe fallout maybe dishonered were losing something i also have a feeling the mass effect timed exclusivity deal is also real it pisses me off but all of these american devs are for sale lucky i have a PC

Crimzon3390d ago

I think there's a strong possibility of Dishonored 2 being announced at E3 (at least I hope so, anyways) and if Dishonored was pulled from PS+ at the last minute, it could be for something as simple as marketing reasons.

I imagine they could have wanted Dishonored to come to PS+ later in the year perhaps, when it's timed better to offer some kind of promotion for the sequel? So for example, they announce Dishonored 2 and then the original game goes up on PS+ around the time of the announcement to help with hype/promotion.

Wild speculation of course, but it seems a little more reasonable than assuming Microsoft was somehow interfering with Sony's PS+ lineup.

The 4 games combined free this month are better than Dishonored.

d0x3603389d ago

Yea such a good game. Grabbed it on a whim for $30 from a friend who beat it 2 days after launch and was gonna trade it in. Fell in love. Even my non gaming gf loved it. They had it on xbl games for gold a couple months ago so I sold my disc and grabbed it off there

Blackleg-sanji3391d ago

Hmmm incoming ps4/xbox one edition?

OUROSMAG3390d ago

That's where my thoughts went.

Blackleg-sanji3390d ago

Apparently only me nd u think that with all my disagrees for no reason

LonDonE3390d ago

Could be, but what dont make sense is i swear i already downloaded it on my PS3 from playstation plus ages ago? i am sure of it!

Dont make sense why it would be up again? i defo downloaded it for free on the PS3 at some point because i know i did not buy it but have it on my download list and i remember starting the game but getting distracted and then i stopped playing it and never returned to it.

JMaine5183391d ago

Must of been the reason for the delay in the announcement.

Eejanaika3391d ago

Ive already played it. Amazing game

"Too bad PS4 owners won’t be able to play it as a backward compatible game, huh?"

Which is a shame, because this would have been an awesome month for PSplus.

Unfortunately for myself, I have already packed up my PS3 (and 360) to clear some shelf space when I got my X. Hopefully for next gen (and if the patent rumors are true) Sony will offer a lot more titles on PS+ that range from all their previous consoles.

2pacalypsenow1956d ago

It still is, you get Hitman and MGS4

gangsta_red1956d ago (Edited 1956d ago )

Yeah, but you don't get MGS4 playable on the PS4. That would have been cool to have the PS3 PS+ free games playable on PS4.

2pacalypsenow1956d ago

That doesn't change the fact that it's a great month for PlayStation+ members.

gangsta_red1956d ago

That does change the fact completely. Especially for those that don't own a PS3.

uptownsoul1956d ago (Edited 1956d ago )

@gangsta_red

Both are offering 4 games playable on current gen consoles (2 AAA & 2 indie games)…

For PS4 the 2 AAA games are: For Honor & Hitman 1; while the 2 indie games are: Gunhouse & Rogue Aces

For Xbox One the 2 AAA games are: Assassin's Creed: Rogue & Star Wars: Jedi Academy; while the 2 Indies games are: Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon & Super Bomberman R...

The only difference is that the 2 AAA games for Xbox One are old gen games…while the 2 AAA games for PS4 is current gen

PS4's offering could be better with back compat…But its still better than Xbox One's offerings

Here's how: Both are offering 4 games playable on current gen consoles (2 AAA & 2 indie games)…

gangsta_red1956d ago

Yeah, not really comparing the offerings from both Xbox and PlayStation though.

But GWG already offered For Honor a while ago and Hitman is on Game Pass for anyone who subscribes to enjoy.

Orionsangel1955d ago

Seems Sony is aware of this and the PS5 may have backwards compatibility.

OffRoadKing1955d ago

So its not an awesome month for anyone because you packed up your PS3? smh Still a better month for Plus then GWG regardless.

If you look at each services free games. You will see that GWG also has re-released a couple titles multiple times, and that Plus tends to beat it to the punch with more relevant titles that make their way to Live a month or more after.

TGGJustin2142d ago

Do you mean that GWG has offered the same game free more than once b/c no I'm pretty sure they haven't. Also both services tend to have a lot of carryover. trackmania Turbo and Trials Fusion were on GWG long before they came to PS+.

segamaniaco2141d ago

Obvious PLUS WON, they will give 9 games vs 4 on gold.

Add a year to your PlayStation Plus membership for just $47

If you need to top off your PlayStation Plus membership with an extra year, $45 is the best excuse.

Should I wait for the 40$ PlayStation Plus deal?
My subscription just ended.... not in rush to renew it atm.

KnowTechie2149d ago

Those days of $40 are long gone.

DreadGara2148d ago

Yeah I saw that in the article, Last time I paid 40 bucks for my subscription and it was last year....
I dunno but I find 40$ is too much for a year subscription still.
